The OLW85 Challenge is to make a one-layer card sans sentiment. It is open until midnight Tuesday (EDST), so there's still time to play! You can link to your card using the InLinkz button on the sidebar of Simplicity.
Also, starting with the first Wednesday in May, we're going to resume weekly OLW challenges. Cross our hearts and pinky promise!
I made a whole set of cards on which there was no place for a sentiment. Where would you put a sentiment on these, truly?
I was just playing around with the idea of a neutral plus a pop of color (you'll see a couple more cards with this color idea in the coming days), and Modern Basics (by Papertrey) happened to be on my desk. This layout exploits the "sweet spot" in the lower right third of the card...that design spot that really draws the eye and is perfect for a focal point.
We won't talk about what my English major mind made of these once I'd finished them. *wink*
Supplies
stamps: Papertrey Ink Modern Basics
ink: Memento London Fog, Tangelo, Daffodil, Pear Tart; SU Cool Caribbean
paper: PTI white
accessories: rhinestones
And they are just LUSH! Who needs a sentiment? They make ideal note cards

Perfect note cards!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards!! No sentiment needed. :)
ReplyDeleteI love "no sentiment" cards! But you could possibly add a sentiment on a very narrow strip of card stock along the stem. Or just stamp it along the stem. Or not. They are stunning just as they are!
ReplyDeleteYou always make "simple" seem so elegant. I like 'em just the way they are.
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards today:0) Gay x
ReplyDeletePerfect just the way they are :)
ReplyDeleteNice design. Great set of cards. Some cards ar nice enough to "stand alone" and don't need a sentiment ... like these. :)
ReplyDeleteLove these - especially the pear tart (I think) with the grey! And I had no vision of what these could be until you pointed it out - now I have a hard time seeing anything else! (In accounting having an imagination can be a bad thing! LOL!)
ReplyDeleteThese are great. I think I would put the sentiment inside and leave your card front just like it is.
ReplyDeleteI think these are totally modern and fun! No sentiment needed!
ReplyDeleteStopping by your blog for the first time today. Such CAS masterpieces. As for your question, what goes with gray. I'd sail you nailed it with this set of cards. How modern/retro are these!
